A ruby mine. When rubies are ready to be collected, a mine cart full of rubies comes up to the end of the tracks in front of the door to the tower.

Yes, such a thing exists. The ruby mine is a small, cone-tipped tower made of stone with a blue cone-shaped top and mine cart tracks running down into a tunnel next to the tower. The ruby mine is a once-in-a-lifetime special offer presented to low level players (below level 25). The ruby mine costs 30,000 rubies in a one-time payment, and will give 250 rubies every day for 360 days, totaling 90,000 rubies, which is three times the original price. Of course, subtracting the original 30,000, the profit is 60,000 rubies.
